^ I said this in College Football 2010 1.0 thread, that this year felt like 05. I also remember jumping up yelling off my couch during that game. Three of my kids were up with me watching that game, probably one of the highest parent kid moments for me in my life.
I predict the game is over 100 points combined tonight. [/quote]
The over/under is in the 70s, last I heard, which is crazy for a game of this magnitude.
I guess I’ll throw in a prediction too. Like Dixie said, I like Auburn in this game. They have been in the tougher games, with their backs against the wall. They have that team of destiny feel about them. For me, it was the come back win over Bama that decided it all. That was the game that told me they would win it all. Much like my Sooners come back win over aTm in 2000, or like Bama’s nail biter against Tennessee, last year.
I also think the match up favors Auburn. They can slow the game down and be a ball controlled offense, which restricts the amount of possessions Oregon will have.
Of course, if Oregon’s offense gets going, then who knows what might happen, but I do think the layoff, if it affects (or is it effects? I started drinking early, so sue me) anyone, it will be Oregon.
Lastly, Auburn has Cam Newton, who has shown he can put his team on his shoulders and carry them to wins. He’s a bit like Vince Young in that respect. I wouldn’t want to be the Oregon defense, late in the game, in a situation where they had to make a stop against the Cam Newton lead offense.
I see the score being something like 31-21 or a 31-24, Auburn.
p.s. If this post comes off as me rambling, too fucking bad. I started shooting Jim Beam Black about an hour ago, because it is snowing outside, and this is last fucking college game of the year.
